[recipe] Sweet Potato Fries (nutri analysis/diabetic ex)

[Guest guest]

Who says you can't have fries when watching your diet?

These are wonderful, and coming in at only 40 calories per

suggested serving means you might be able to eat a

double order depending upon how many calories you are

allowing for in the meal. Enjoy!

 

Sweet Potato Fries

 

1 pound sweet potatoes

1 egg white

2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

 

Peel amd cut potatoes into 1/4x1/2-inch strips.

In a bowl, combine egg white and seasonings;

beat well. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Place in a

single layer on two baking sheets coated with

nonstick cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at

450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden

brown.

Yield: 8 servings

 

Nutritional analysis: One 1/2-cup serving equals

40 calories, 20mg sodium, 0 cholesterol, 9gm carbo-

hydrate, 1gm protein, trace fat.

Diabetic exchange: 1/2 starch

Oh, YUM! this sounds wonderful. I *love* sweet

potatoes..............now I wonder, any body have any ideas of how I

can veganize this? Do you think there is something I can use

instead of the egg? or just leave it out?.......I know, I know, I'll eat

pork, but I don't eat eggs or dairy...go figure.

Cool! That make sense! thanks a bunch!

 

I use grape seed oil for cooking- I have heard that olive oil can turn

to " bad " oil when heated too high....it supposedly is more healthy

than the olive. I would give more details about it, but it's been too

long since I read up on it.

 

Thanks again for the tip!

There are egg replacers you can buy. I don't recall

the name of the product offhand, but I have seen

it sold at my grocery store before in the healthfood

section; comes in a box and is a powder you mix up.

You could also just mix a bit of soy flour or rice flour

with water to get the desired consistancy. I believe

the egg white in this recipe is there mostly to provide

a way to keep the seasonings on the sweet potato

wedges. Just use anything that will not add flavor and

help the seasonings to stick.

Yeah, I had thought about EnerG egg replacer, but I thought that

may change the taste or texture too much....I dunno tho [?]

thanks for the suggestions, PT !
